The register lists the highest recent closed sales in each Miami market on this page, each with its closing date and price from the MIAMI REALTORS® MLS, checked against the Miami-Dade Property Appraiser's record, and its price per square foot on the heated area the County records: it shows what homes actually sold for, the evidence an asking price is read against. These are the market's sales; a row marked as a sale by Boschetti Group at Compass is a sale by Julian Acosta's team.

Median asking price per sq ft — for each Miami market on this atlas, the middle value of list price ÷ living area across every active listing at $2M and up, read from the MIAMI REALTORS® MLS as of NOV 1, 2026: it tells you what sellers in that market are asking per square foot, not what buyers paid.

Active listings — for each Miami market on this atlas, the homes for sale at $2M and up, all residential types, read from the MIAMI REALTORS® MLS as of NOV 1, 2026: it tells you how many homes a buyer in that market can choose from.

The Miami markets on this atlas — Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Miami Beach, Brickell, Key Biscayne, Pinecrest, South Miami, High Pines and Ponce-Davis — are never averaged together: a sale in Cocoplum, in Coral Gables, says nothing about a house on Star Island, in Miami Beach.

THE METHOD · MIAMI MARKETS

Each Miami market, on its own.

Julian Acosta is a Compass real estate agent based in Coral Gables who represents buyers and sellers in most of Miami-Dade County. He knows some of its markets most closely (Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Miami Beach, Brickell, Key Biscayne, Pinecrest, South Miami, High Pines and Ponce-Davis), and for each of them this site publishes the closed sales behind every price, read from that market alone, never from an average of Miami.

As this page is read there are 983ACTIVE residential listings at $2M and up across the markets on this page.

Median asking price per square foot ranges from $974 in South Miami → to $1,897 in Miami Beach →.

Every figure in these two paragraphs on the Miami markets on this page is read from the MIAMI REALTORS® MLS as of NOV 1, 2026 and written out as text so it can be cited; the ten-year appreciation beside them is Coral Gables' alone, from NeighborhoodScout, 2015 Q4 to 2025 Q4.

TAX ADVANTAGE
TAX ADVANTAGE

Zero State Income Tax

Florida does not impose an individual state income tax; federal taxes, including capital-gains taxes, still apply. For high earners relocating from New York or California, the saving is the state income tax they no longer pay.

SCARCITY
SCARCITY

Finite Inventory — No New Land

Miami is bounded by the Everglades to the west and the Atlantic to the east, so in its established neighborhoods a new home mostly replaces an old one.

CONNECTIVITY

A Hub for International Flights

If you are selling, Julian prices your home from the closed sales around it before it is marketed, anywhere in most of Miami-Dade County.

“I had the opportunity to work with Julian after he shared some valuable insights about the local market, and right from the start, his transparency and dedication stood out. He offered helpful information without any pressure, which built the trust I needed to move forward with selling my property in Miami Beach. Even though the South Florida market has been pretty slow, Julian knew exactly how to position the property. Thanks to his strong network and the groundwork he’d been doing, he was able to get it under contract while it was still off market. I had tried to sell before without success, but this time we were able to close a deal that truly worked in my favor. I really appreciated his follow-through, attention to detail, and the way he navigated the entire process. I’d gladly recommend him”

“We had the pleasure of working with Julian Acosta to sell my husband's apartment in Coconut Grove, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Julian was always available and incredibly easy to contact, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. His promptness and reliability stood out throughout the sale. Julian demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the market and provided us with invaluable advice on pricing the apartment appropriately. When difficulties arose during the closing process, he worked diligently to facilitate and resolve these issues efficiently. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, the apartment sold rapidly. We greatly appreciate Julian's efforts and professionalism. Without hesitation, we would choose to work with him again in the future and recommend his services to anyone in need of an outstanding realtor.”

Common questions about Miami luxury real estate

◆ DOCUMENTED · FIGURES AS OF SEP 2026
Is Miami a good place to invest in luxury real estate? 121.7% in ten years+
Miami's luxury market benefits from several structural demand drivers. Florida does not impose an individual state income tax; federal taxes, including capital-gains taxes, still apply. The land is finite — bounded by the Everglades to the west and the Atlantic to the east. Ryder System has its global headquarters in Coral Gables, and Apple and FIFA have offices there. International capital from Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East continues to flow into the market. Coral Gables → alone appreciated 121.7% over the past decade, placing it in the top 20% of all U.S. residential markets. These are structural advantages, not cyclical ones.
What are Miami's most established luxury residential markets? $55M record in 2025+
The most prestigious neighborhoods in Miami-Dade are Coral Gables →, Coconut Grove →, Pinecrest →, Key Biscayne →, and Miami Beach →. Coral Gables is home to fourteen gated communities, among them Gables Estates →, where the 2025 record sale reached $55M. Coconut Grove offers historic waterfront estates on Biscayne Bay. Pinecrest provides large estate lots and top private schools. Key Biscayne delivers private island living with resort amenities. Miami Beach includes luxury oceanfront condominiums and the prestigious private island communities of Star Island, Palm Island, Hibiscus Island, and four of the six Venetian Islands.
Are there waterfront homes in Coral Gables? $2.5M – $55M+ on the water+
Yes. Coral Gables → has some of the most valuable waterfront homes in Miami. The gated community of Gables Estates → reaches Biscayne Bay with no fixed bridge on the way out. Old Cutler Bay → commands the highest price per square foot in Coral Gables. Cocoplum → and Snapper Creek Lakes → offer canal access to Biscayne Bay. In Gables by the Sea, 203 homes reach the bay with no fixed bridge, at a lower entry price. Waterfront properties in Coral Gables range from approximately $2.5M – $55M+.
What are the most exclusive island communities in Miami Beach?+
Miami Beach →'s most exclusive residential communities are located on private islands. Star Island is home to some of the largest waterfront estates in South Florida,. Palm Island and Hibiscus Island offer deepwater dockage, gated security, and proximity to downtown Miami. The Venetian Islands — a chain of six connected islands between Miami Beach and the mainland, four of them inside the city — offer a mix of luxury waterfront homes and bayfront estates with direct Biscayne Bay access. Sunset Islands provide some of the most private residential streets in Miami Beach.
What are the Venetian Islands, and are they part of Miami Beach? Six islands, four in Miami Beach+
The Venetian Islands are a chain of six man-made islands connected by the Venetian Causeway between Miami Beach → and the Miami mainland. Four of them — Belle Isle, Rivo Alto Island, DiLido Island and San Marino Island — are in the City of Miami Beach; San Marco Island and Biscayne Island are in the City of Miami. The islands contain some of the most sought-after waterfront homes on Biscayne Bay, offering direct bay access, deep-water dockage on select lots, and a quiet residential character.
How competitive is the Miami luxury real estate market?+
The Miami luxury market is competitive but not uniformly so. See the market pages for Coral Gables →, Coconut Grove → and Pinecrest →. A small share of transactions above $5M never appears on the MLS. Access to this inventory requires agent relationships, not just a search portal.
How does water access change the price of a waterfront home in Miami?+
Waterfront access tier is the single most important pricing variable in Miami waterfront transactions. Homes with no fixed bridge between the dock and the bay command the highest prices per square foot in Coral Gables →. Canal-access homes with fixed bridge clearance sell for less, even on the same block. Miami Beach → island communities, including the Venetian Islands and Star Island, operate similarly — direct boating access and unobstructed bay or ocean views drive the highest premiums.
